Wolves football team records fourth straight shutout

North Star’s Ashton Fevreau (3) and Kingston Gardin (4) try to prevent a Tecumseh Vista Academy receiver from making a catch last Thursday evening in Tecumseh.

Four wins, four shutouts to start the 2025 WECSSAA Tier 2 senior football season for the North Star Wolves.

The Wolves headed to Tecumseh last Thursday night for their only road game of the season and came away with a 26-0 victory over the Tecumseh Vista Academy Vortex. 

The win improved their record to 4-0 and their points for-points against statistics to 166-0.

The Wolves didn’t get off to as quick of a start as they would have liked but still sported a 13-0 halftime lead. Quarterback Ryan Reid recorded the first touchdown of the night in the first quarter, this one being from two yards out.

In the second quarter, a Steven Craner interception set the Wolves up deep in Vortex territory. Reid connected with running back Ashton Fevreau on a 36-yard touchdown pass but it was called back on a holding penalty. 

Fevreau still found the end zone later in the quarter on a one-yard run.

Fevreau scored two more touchdowns in the third quarter, both on rushes. One was a four-yard touchdown run while the other was a six-yard run. The latter came after a North Star fumble recovery.

There was no scoring in the fourth quarter, though a Wolves’ drive stalled on the Tecumseh Vista four-yard line.

Lineman Alex Greason said they felt pretty good in improving to 4-0. 

Greason said they believed they were a dominant team in Tier 2 coming into the season, but while some teams dropped down from Tier 1, they still feel good about their chances.

Greason pointed out they have scored over 150 points this season and have yet to allow one. He added they expected a tough game from Vista and they got one.

“We expected a dogfight,” he said. “We expected to fight for every yard.”The Wolves didn’t play as well as they could play in the first half, but improved in the second half.

“I think we turned it up in the second half,” he said.

Greason said they want to clean up some of their penalties and play a “cleaner” brand of football.

“It can always be cleaner,” he said.

North Star coach Joel Charron also noted the Wolves have yet to allow a point this year. 

“This was a test,” he said. “Vista always plays us hard. We came out hard. This was a business trip. We took care of business.”

The slower than normal start was something Charron attributed to nerves and adrenaline. He said once they settled down and got into the flow of the game, they started to play “North Star football.”

The Wolves spread the ball around to different running backs to run the ball against Vista. There is a bye week for North Star this week and he added they will delve deeper into their playbook and work on some new aspects of their game.

The next game for the Wolves is Oct. 24 at the Libro Centre in Amherstburg against the Kennedy Clippers. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
